Devon On The Wharf

About Devon On The Wharf

Devon On The Wharf sits directly at Devonport Wharf, serving vibrant Mediterranean and Turkish-inspired cuisine alongside coastal classics against the backdrop of Auckland Harbour. Whether dropping in for a morning coffee as the ferries dock or gathering for a shared feast over sunset drinks, the venue provides an open, welcoming waterside setting.

The menu highlights rich, generous shared dining, ranging from mezze platters and lahmajun to slow-cooked Jordanian lamb shoulder and freshly battered local fish and chips. With dedicated brunch, dinner, and kids' selections paired with a full bar showcasing craft tap beers, regional wines, and signature seaside cocktails, it caters effortlessly to casual commuters, families, and evening gatherings alike.

Waterfront Dining and Mediterranean Flavours at Devon On The Wharf

Perched right at the arrival point of the Devonport ferry terminal, Devon On The Wharf provides diners with an immediate connection to the Waitematā Harbour. Positioned on Queens Parade, the restaurant combines expansive sea and skyline views with a kitchen ethos rooted in generous Mediterranean and Turkish culinary traditions. From morning ferry commuters stopping in for an espresso to evening crowds gathering for sunset drinks, the venue functions as an open, vibrant community anchor.

Generous Mezze and Coastal Classics

The culinary identity at Devon On The Wharf leans heavily into social, shared dining. Central to the dinner experience are expansive platters like the classic Mezze Platter—brimming with house dips, calamari, cauliflower fritters, and warm Turkish pide—and the Wharf Street Feast. Diners looking for individual plates can explore distinct Middle Eastern staples such as the slow-cooked Jordanian lamb shoulder served over smooth hummus, feta, and almonds, or the Devon’s Feast accompanied by Arabic smoked rice and muhammara.

Alongside regional specialties, the kitchen embraces its seaside locale with coastal comfort fare. Beer-battered market fish and chips, Peruvian market fish ceviche with citrus and coriander, and honey-smoked Angus short rib offer choices for diverse appetites. For more casual bites, an extensive selection of pizzas—including traditional Lahmajun topped with spiced beef mince—and small shares like halloumi chips and scallop gratin with burnt chilli butter keep tables lively.

From Morning Roasts to Evening Cocktails

Operating seven days a week from early morning into late evening, Devon On The Wharf adapts seamlessly to the time of day. Early visitors can enjoy morning coffees, including specialty Hokey Pokey lattes, superfood brews, or authentic Turkish coffee served alongside Turkish delight. As afternoon turns into evening, the bar takes centre stage with regional tap beers, local New Zealand wines, and playful signature cocktails like the 'Missed The Ferry' and 'Torpedo Bay'. Complete with house-made sweets such as honey-soaked loukoumades and pistachio baklava, it remains one of Devonport's standout destinations for relaxed harbourside hospitality.
